Mishimoto performance Intercooler. Tune needed?

[Chrizniz]

I just bought a Civic Si ‘19 sedan back in August. Haven’t really done anything to it except for swapping the stock intake with a K&N Typhoon Cold Air intake. I just got my Mishimoto performance intercooler/piping kit in the mail today, so now I’m planning on heading to a shop within the next few days to get this bad boy up and running. My question is, would I need any kind of tune after the intercooler is swapped? What do you guys think? I am planning on getting a cat back exhaust next just not sure when and btw if anyone out there knows of a really cool and reputable brand for the exhaust, throw some names out there for me. But for now, my main focus is this Intercooler. Thoughts? Suggestions? Guide me in the right direction here..help a brother out! Thanks guys!

No tune needed for the Mishimoto Intercooler. It was designed and tested for a stock Civic

Did you have any problems tunning your AFM after you installed your k&n intake ?

I haven’t done any type of tuning after installing the intake. According to K&N’s YouTube channel, all K&N intakes were designed and tested to work with factory ECU settings on a stock vehicle. However, I do plan on tuning my Honda after installing my Aftermarket intercooler this weekend. So uhm, if I do run into any tuning issues with my AFM, I’ll keep you updated. I’m new to this whole modding situation so I was never really into stuff like this until I recently purchased my Honda back in August. Any other suggestions would help! Thanks for looking out

If you look at your fuel trims, you will notice that they will be way off

Definitely check your fuel trims...i had the short ram k&n on my 2017 si and it threw them off a bit. Had to calibrate the MAF via KTuner.

Wow I had absolutely no idea it could do that. I’ll def look into it and I’ll def let my mechanic know before he installs the Intercooler.

Would you have a picture or ... Of your calibrate MAF of when you had the K&N intake ?

27WON Intake, PRL Intercooler, and upgraded charge pipes threw my trims off a bit in cold weather. I'm thinking it's still fine, ECU is doing what it should and correcting in close loop and hitting target AFRs

No, sorry I have no pictures of it
